Reliability and Probability for Engineering Design

In the ever-evolving landscape of engineering, the fields of probability, reliability, and statistical methods hold immense significance, providing the foundation for understanding and managing uncertainties, risks, and complexities in the design, analysis, and operation of complex systems. This comprehensive book, tailored specifically for an American audience, offers a captivating journey into these intertwined disciplines, equipping readers with the essential knowledge and practical skills to navigate the challenges of modern engineering.
With a focus on real-world applications, this book delves into the fundamentals of probability, exploring concepts such as random variables, probability distributions, and conditional probability. It then delves into statistical methods for data analysis, encompassing descriptive and inferential statistics, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and time series analysis.
Venturing into the realm of reliability engineering, the book investigates concepts such as reliability measures, failure modes and mechanisms, reliability modeling, testing, and improvement techniques. It also explores various probability distributions commonly encountered in engineering, including continuous, discrete, multivariate, and extreme value distributions.
Furthermore, the book delves into statistical quality control, covering topics such as statistical process control, control charts, acceptance sampling, and quality improvement methodologies. It also explores risk and uncertainty analysis, examining risk assessment and management, uncertainty quantification and propagation, sensitivity analysis, and decision making under uncertainty.
Throughout the book, readers will embark on a journey through diverse engineering applications, witnessing how probability, reliability, and statistical methods are applied in fields such as structural engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, and emerging areas such as artificial intelligence and machine learning for reliability.
Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is an invaluable resource for engineering students, practitioners, and researchers seeking to enhance their understanding and skills in probability, reliability, and statistical methods. With its comprehensive coverage, real-world examples, and practical exercises, this book is poised to become a cornerstone reference in the field of engineering.
